What does winter look like in the far north? According to the clichés: as dark and cold as a refrigerator. And yet it is precisely in these wintertime months that photographer Michael Königshofer picks up his camera and heads to the Arctic Circle!

In this rich and original photo book, the Scandinavia-savvy Austrian captures much more than the clichéd images of the Northern Lights.

With an eye on the coexistence of nature and culture, Königshofer explores how lives are lived in this intense and extreme environment, from the traditional ivory carver in Greenland to the ice surfer in the North Cape. The result is an authentic portrait of Scandinavian life, showing a whole new side to life up north.

A rich portrait of winter in Northern Europe, far removed from the cliché of a wild, untouched wilderness
Exciting contrasts of nature and culture in Norway, Sweden, Iceland, and Greenland
A must-have book for all fans of Scandinavia

I sin nye bok analyserer professor Ole O. Moen USA slik verdens eneste supermakt nå fremstår under president Barack Hussein Obama - både i lys av vår samtid og USAs særegne historiske tradisjoner. Presidentvalget i 2008 var på flere vis begynnelsen på et nytt kapittel i USAs moderne historie. Moen beskriver de nye trekk som nå avtegner seg i den politiske og kulturelle hverdag.

Denne boken forteller historien om dette landet i en ny og annerledes tidsalder. Det er sterke bånd som knytter Norge til USA. En naturlig konsekvens av dette er at de fleste nordmenn mener seg å kjenne USA. Onkel Sam er en gammel kjenning, men vår generelle innsikt i amerikansk kultur og politikk er relativt overflatisk. Denne boken er et bidrag til en bedre forståelse av dagens amerikanske samfunn.
